Karen Litchtbraun was briefly detained by NYPD and released.
Attendees of the World Values Network’s event in Times Square honored the IDF, dancing in celebration of the killing of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Signs held by Israel supporters included “HANIYEH’S PRONOUNS: WAS/WERE”
“Are you ready to rock the house and stop innocent Jews and Arabs and Palestinians and Christians from being burnt alive?” rallied the IDF supporters’ first speaker.
“IDF! IDF!” they chanted. “USA! USA!”
Former IDF Chief International Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricius was introduced at the rally by Dana W. White, former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs.
“Israel remains a beacon of hope, freedom and prosperity in a region hostile to our shared values,” White said.
NYPD arrested a Palestine supporter who climbed onto something, sparking anger in the crowd.
“You gonna see on judgement day,” one told the officers. “Allah will find you!”
“Welcome to the hellfire, son!”
